NHL Harm December 9, 2025

Brayden Level, C – Tampa Bay Lightning

Brayden Level has formally been activated off injured reserve, clearing the trail for his return to #GoBolts lineup tonight in Toronto. Level has been out since November 22 when he all however one shift within the third interval towards Washington, lacking the previous seven #TBLightning video games.

After lacking 5 video games, Level returned to motion final evening. Let’s hope that no matter has been ailing Level is behind him as a result of he has not been himself all season. His 40-point tempo just isn’t what we’ve come to anticipate. I, for one, might use him returning to his 40-goal, 90-point self.

Andrei Vasilevsky, G – Tampa Bay Lightning

#GoBolts have positioned G Andrei Vasilevskiy on injured reserve. He final performed on Tuesday in New York, so he’ll miss tonight’s recreation in Toronto and tomorrow in Montreal on the minimal. #TBLightning

Vasilevsky was positioned on injured reserve forward of the Leafs’ recreation Monday evening. He’s eligible to return as early as December eleventh, so I’m not anticipating him to be stored out of motion long run. This transfer does release a roster spot, which coincides with Brayden Level’s return.

Jonas Johansson will proceed to begin in his absence. In 9 begins, Johansson has produced eight high quality begins.

Ryan Leonard, RW – Washington Capitals

Capitals rookie Ryan Leonard exited Friday’s recreation vs. Anaheim after taking an enormous hit from Jacob Trouba behind the online 😬

He was actually coming into his personal after lately being promoted to the Capitals’ first energy play unit.  Nevertheless, it appears like Leonard will miss a while after taking an enormous hit from the Anaheim Geese defenceman, Jacob Trouba.

‘A while’ hasn’t been translated into days or even weeks at this level. With the vagueness groups like to talk about accidents and timelines, I anticipate the Capitals to checklist him as week-to-week initially.

Joseph Woll, G – Toronto Maple Leafs

The Leafs’ current sturdy play, largely, has been due to Woll’s play in web.

Now, he joins Anthony Stolarz on the Leafs’ damage reserve. The Leafs haven’t launched a timetable on how lengthy they anticipate Woll to be out. With each goalies out, Dennis Hildeby is the incumbent starter till certainly one of them is able to return.

Hildeby performed a really sturdy recreation Saturday evening towards the Canadiens, giving up a single purpose on 34 photographs. With none actual timetable for return on both Stolarz or Woll, he’ll see the share of the begins.

Thatcher Demko, G – Vancouver Canucks

There’s a chance Demko might return as early as Thursday, December eleventh, towards the Buffalo Sabres. The Canucks presently sit thirty first in factors within the NHL. His return will do little to rectify that.

As Demko’s damage resume continues to develop, my endurance and belief in him diminish. He’s by far the most effective goalie on the Canucks roster; sadly, the workforce in entrance of him is a little bit of a multitude.

Each return, I ask myself, for the way lengthy this time? Contemplating the place the Canucks are within the standings and his damage monitor file, this is likely to be a golden buy-low alternative.
